McCain Impulsive and Often Wrong…By His Own Admission

In a brief moment of truthfulness, John McCain calls his decision-making style “impulsive” and often “wrong”.  I couldn’t agree more…check out this clip from C&L (from the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour).

Peace out.

First Up: The Palin Wake Up Call…

I was never so scared about the future of America than I was after hearing suburban house wives praise McCain’s choice for VP because “it made them believe that they could be Vice President too”.

You see folks, that’s the problem…starting with W, The Republicans have set the bar so low, that even these ditsy SUV-driving soccer and hockey moms think they’re qualified to be run for the most powerful office on the planet…and the scary thing is – they are very close to achieving it.

WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA! The Stepford Wives are this close to having their finger on the button as the dumb-ass rednecks, hawks and neocons continue to push for war with and Iran and threaten nuclear-armed countries like Russia and Pakistan.

Matt Damon (yes, Hollywood liberal and “elitest” Matt Damon) nails it in this recent interview clip…

Peace out.

Land Rover going green?

Well, it looks as though more and companies are starting to come around the idea that reducing carbon emissions and making more sustainable, sensible and earth-friendly products may not be such a bad idea after all.

Whether it came from pressure from the European Union (whose carbon emission restrictions are way more stringent than ours), or just an attempt to improve their corporate image in advance of being sold – Land Rover looks like their moving in the right direction with their new line of “eco-friendly” models.

The more car-like off road vehicles feature recycled plastic, aluminum and suede in a more compact and fuel efficient frame – it’s not perfect, but it’s solid step in the right direction.

Oh Yeah, While We’re Talking About Bill Hicks…

I’m ashamed to admit I only recently discovered the brilliant comedic mind that was Bill Hicks, through a friend.

He started his stand up career at the tender age of 14 in the late seventies and died way too young at age 32, on February 26th, 1992.

Hicks really seemed hit his peak in the 80′s (based on the many mullets you’ll be seeing in the documentary that follows) and while it’s kind of hard to believe that the same decade that gave us Reaganomics and Kajagoogoo could also give us Bill Hicks…I guess ya gotta take the good with the bad – in whatever decade you happen to find yourself…

But I digress.

Hope ya enjoy this piece as much as I did…
